  Fantastic stay at this property, it was the perfect to get away for a quiet weekend of celebration with family.

  The biggest selling point, for me, is the garden, which is a really good size. The patio/decking area is great, more than big enough for us (party of 8 plus a 3yo) to spend the afternoon/evening having a BBQ. There is a fantastic bamboo area and it's the kind of garden you can have a stroll around and visit all the nooks and crannies. Interior is well furnished and the beds are comfortable, we all slept well. There is ample dining space and plenty of separate rooms, so that if you are a large group you can be doing different things and not always on top of each other. There is not a lot of surrounding infrastructure (that is to be expected, based on the type of property) but there is a newsagent and pub at the top of the hill which takes around 10-15 mins to stroll up or would take 1-3 minutes by car. There is plenty of parking both at the property and in the nearby village square. All in all, a fantastic place for a short break.

  We had a marvellous week at Higher Fords Barn.

  The accommodations is excellent throughout, fantastic large living and kitchen area, lovely bedrooms with well appointed en-suite to each and nicely spaced apart. Great facilities and general equipment which provided all we needed for our stay. We particularly loved the garden which provided much fun and enjoyment for the family. A real natural sun trap with amazing countryside views. Child and dog friendly under supervision. Location is excellent from which to explore the wonderful area and Sandymouth beach was an absolute standout. The very narrow lanes leading to and from the barn can be a little challenging and very pot holed but obviously outside the owners control. We had one small issue with the outside key safe but this was quickly resolved with the owners and communication and response from Lauren and Bob was excellent and appreciated. We will definitely visit again and fully recommend this super super holiday destination.

  This was a lovely house, well equipped and comfortable.

  A wonderful quiet location, although shame about the building site next door (although it was a quiet one). The house was cold when we arrived and the thermostats didn't seem to work properly but we managed to get it warm. There was a general lack of instructions and pointers to where to find things (eg the corkscrew, the toys and games), but once we found them they were greatly appreciated. The main issue was the damp. The porch leaked and made all our coats hanging on the pegs wet. There was also a leak in the snug by the window. It had been very wet outside, but a place to hang coats after a wet walk is essential. The play area is great for kids but one of the swings was rotten and felt unsafe. The stairgate, bed guard, buggy and high chair are great for families. The owners were helpful and thoughtful in checking that we were having a good time.

  Beautiful property and amazing grounds.

  The house had absolutely everything we needed. Lovely welcome pack when we arrived. Everything you could want in the kitchen to prepare, cook and serve family meals. The dining table fitted us all around it perfectly. Beds were very comfortable, bathrooms really clean, the walk-in wardrobe in the master bedroom was a real treat. Downstairs was very spacious, with a brilliant and cosy log burner in the lounge. The conservatory was glorious in the sunshine. The Xbox in the lounge and the outdoor games room were a wonderful bonus. We loved the patio area, the fish pond, the swings and the football net on the top field was an absolute winner with our son. The washer and dryer were also super handy when needed. The owner was very friendly and helpful when we had any queries. We would thoroughly recommend this property to our family and friends.

  It was a pleasant surprise to arrive at Higher Forda and find that all the pictures we had seen and description of the facilities were 100% accurate.

  We were all so impressed by the fact that everything we could have needed was available to us and for that reason we felt totally at home. The hot tub was lovely - we read a couple of reviews that suggested the hot tub wasn't hot enough but we took the time to follow the owner's clear instructions they had sent beforehand, and made sure the fire was burning for 3 to 4 hours before jumping in - and it definitely paid off... Like sitting in a hot bath but with the added bonus of looking up at the stars!! We were gutted we hadn't booked for 2 weeks in the end and will definitely be back soon (although looks like we need to be quick as most of next year is booked up already!) Thank you to the owners for making their beautiful barn available to us.
